Breeding is not guesswork, and it is not trend-driven. It is a discipline built on observation, accountability, and time.

The writings collected here reflect my philosophy as a preservation breeder working within a multi-generation Collie family. These articles explore  the responsibility breeders carry—not just to the dogs in front of them, but to the generations that follow.

​

Rooted in practical experience and informed by history, these pieces are written for breeders who value consistency over novelty, understanding over assumption, and long-term soundness over short-term success. They are not instructions, but reflections—meant to provoke thought, encourage honesty, and contribute to the broader conversation about what it means to breed with intention.

Because the future of a breed is shaped not only by the dogs we produce, but by the decisions we are willing to examine.
